elder berry juice concentrate

Elder berry juice concentrate is a water-soluble extract with a fruity elderberry flavor used primarily as a food additive and flavoring agent.

General Material Description

Elder berry juice concentrate is a thick, flavorful liquid derived from the juice of elderberries, known chemically for its complex composition of sugars, organic acids, and phenolic compounds. Its sensory profile is predominantly fruity, typical of elderberry fruits. The concentrate serves as a natural flavoring agent and food additive. It is sometimes identified as elderberry juice concentrate. This concentrate is water soluble and typically sourced through evaporation of pressed elderberry juice. Authoritative chemical information can be found through the PubChem database, which documents its composition and properties.

Occurrence, Applicability & Potential Uses

Elder berry juice concentrate is derived from Sambucus species elderberries, which grow widely in temperate regions. In nature, elderberries contain various anthocyanins and flavonoids, contributing both color and flavor. The concentrate is applied extensively in the flavoring of beverages, confections, and other culinary products as an additive. It is recognized under FEMA (US) standards for use as a flavoring agent, where it is valued for its characteristic fruity elderberry taste. Its water solubility enables easy incorporation into aqueous food systems.

Physico-Chemical Properties Summary

The concentrate’s solubility in water is a key physicochemical property influencing its use in formulations, allowing uniform distribution in liquid or semi-liquid products. Its dense composition, resulting from juice evaporation, includes sugars and organic compounds that contribute to its viscosity and sweetness. The presence of natural pigments impacts color characteristics of finished products. These properties collectively affect stability, flavor release, and sensory perception when used in flavor development and product enhancement.

FAQ

What is elder berry juice concentrate and how is it used?
Elder berry juice concentrate is a dense liquid obtained by concentrating juice extracted from elderberries. It features a fruity flavor typical of the elderberry fruit and is used primarily as a natural flavoring agent and food additive to impart both taste and color in a variety of consumables.
Where does elder berry juice concentrate come from and how is it applied in products?
The concentrate is sourced from Sambucus elderberries, which are common in temperate climates. Juice is extracted from the berries and concentrated by removing water content. The resulting liquid is water soluble and incorporated into beverages, confections, and other food products to add elderberry flavor and coloration.
What regulations apply to elder berry juice concentrate and how is its safety assessed?
Elder berry juice concentrate is recognized as a flavoring agent under FEMA (US) guidelines. It lacks classification under OSHA’s Hazard Communication Standard (29 CFR 1910), indicating no known hazards based on available data. Safety assessment details are limited, with no formal toxicity data determined, and usage recommendations exclude fragrance applications.
